Not sure about that.  I'm not familiar with driver development under
Windows.  I'd expect that you get the token of the calling thread or, in
this case, process as is.

However, did you try this with a primary group SID being part of the
token's supplementary group list, or did you try this with some
arbitrary group SID?

I toyed around a bit with this in user space, and it seems I
misinterpreted the results when I added the newgrp(1) tool.  The primary
group in the token *must* be member of the token's supplementary group
list.

The fact that it looks like it works in Cygwin to set the pgrp to
an arbitrary SID is apparently based on incorrect error handling.

I will fix this in the next couple of days.
